- Too fragile. Those nanotubes are very easily damaged so no touching allowed.
- Currently, it requires a metal surface to be applied to though any material that can survive extreme heat and carbon nanotubes could be grown on could be used.
- The process is complex leading to a high price which is not likely to drop in the near future. The spray-on form is still very expensive and not as black.
- Vantablack is not even the current low reflectance record holder.
